Chapter Eighty-Eight: Smiling Girl
In Ningfu Palace, the Queen Mother was lying on her side on the bed, and Qi Xuan served tea: "The imperial grandmother has not looked very good recently, but there is something to worry about?" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Qi Xuan: "If you get married, maybe the imperial grandmother will be happy, and this body will be better." ”
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "If the imperial grandmother can get better, Qi Xuan can get married at any time." ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was very pleased: "You are different from your mother, you have been close to me since you were a child, presumably your mother will be jealous." ”
"The grandson still thinks that he is the same as the emperor's mother." Qi Xuan sat on the side of the Queen Mother's bed.
Qi Xuan thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if the imperial grandmother has heard that there is an imperial chef missing?" ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Oh? What's going on? ”
"Grandson heard that this imperial chef can make a good dish, who knew that I went to the imperial dining room today, but I heard that she had been missing for a long time, and it seemed that her name was Su Jiu." Qixuan spied.
The Queen Mother was silent: "This palace is so big, what is it to have one or two less minions, if you want to eat, the imperial grandmother will help you search for famous chefs in the world." ”
Qi Xuan said: "I also knew her before, and I felt quite a match, this living person disappeared in the palace, so I naturally wanted to find out where she went." ”
The Queen Mother said: "Xu is dead." ”
Qi Xuan was silent.
Lan Xiaoqiu's disappearance made two men go crazy, one was Fang Hao and the other was Li Da.
Fang Hao often entered the palace with a token, which made the queen a little unhappy.
waited for the opportunity to say in the emperor's ear: "I heard that recently, Fang Nian's son Fang Hao often enters the palace to find the emperor, and his little deputy general is more diligent than the general who enters the palace." ”
The emperor pretended to read a book, and said casually: "Discussing military affairs, I also intend to be asked by him to do something." ”
The queen seemed to be unhappy, and she didn't say much, so she changed her words and said: "The day of the emperor's wedding is coming, what is the emperor's plan?" ”
The emperor sighed: "Yes, Qixuan is going to get married, but I heard that the prime minister's daughter is a little rude." ”
"Children's families, what is it to fight and make trouble, Qixuan still likes her very much, except for Qingluan, there is no one who can be worthy of our Qixuan, after all, Qixuan is the prince, and the future ......" The queen did not continue, and said to the emperor: "The emperor has only such a prince in his life, and he blames the concubines for not being angry, if he has a few more, the emperor will have more opportunities to choose the prince." The queen said and handed the emperor a cup of tea.
The emperor looked sideways and said, "Establish a prince? ”
The queen pretended to remind: "Yes, has the emperor forgotten that the rule of our dynasty is that the day of the wedding is the time to establish the prince?" Wasn't the emperor also the prince of the emperor when he married his sister? Qixuan is the only son of the emperor, does the emperor have any other ideas? ”
The emperor listened to the color of the iron, and he said: "I have my own plans, the queen will go to rest first, I will finish reading this book." ”
The queen went to bed silently, and the maids on both sides put down the inner tent, and through the gauze tent, Ruofan Qiao saw what the emperor wrote on the paper.
Early the next morning, the emperor hurried to the court.
Ruofan Qiao was dressing up, but found in the mirror what the emperor had written on the paper last night, so he ordered: "Bring that one." ”
The paper ball that had been kneaded was gently unfolded by Ruofenqiao, and when she saw the words on the paper, Ruofenqiao trembled her hands and tore the paper ball to shreds, because there was only one word written on the crumpled paper - purple.
The prime minister and Qingcheng sat next to the queen, and their faces seemed to be filled with the joy of becoming the national lord and the national uncle.
Ruofan Qiao gave an order: "Be sure to get rid of Fang Hao before the big wedding." ”
Qingcheng received the order, and the assassins sent out by Qingcheng before were all known to Li Da first, so Li Da would inform Fang Hao to be careful, and now the queen told Qingcheng not to confide any news to Shao Yan, so this time the assassins, Li Da did not know.
Fang Hao walked out of Fang's house, but suddenly saw a person with a body very similar to Lan Xiaoqiu, Fang Hao hurriedly chased after him, but that person walked to Yeshan.
When he arrived at Yeshan, the man finally stopped, Fang Hao stepped forward to grab him, but before the man could turn back, he was stabbed in his body. Fang Hao covered the bleeding wound, but only then did he realize that Lan Xiaoqiu's face was still three days away from the March deadline, so the back in front of him, which was very similar to Lan Xiaoqiu, must have been pretended, but it was too late.
Fang Hao was injured and leaned on the stone, and more than a dozen big men suddenly appeared around him, these people were all Qingcheng's subordinates, almost except for Li Da, who came out of the nest just to get rid of Fang Hao.
Fang Hao struggled to grab a person's weapon and fought with more than a dozen people, but after all, the master was like a cloud, and Fang Hao was forced to hang due to lack of physical strength.
Fang Hao had already been stabbed several times, dust and blood wrapped his broken body, his eyes were stained red with blood, he couldn't see clearly what kind of people the dozen or so people were, they seemed to merge into a bright red body, and they were besieging him.
Fang Hao slowly retreated, more than a dozen people laughed evilly, it was the middle of winter, but there was a thunderclap in the sky, and it rained heavily, and the killers knew that if they didn't hurry down the mountain, they would be swept away by the mudslide.
Fang Hao lay on the cliff, he looked at the fine rain, invading his injured body like a needle, and at the last moment, he read: "Lan Xiaoqiu, where are you?" ”
The mudslide was mixed with the body of a person, rushing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and Fang Hao was wrapped in mud and passed out.
There are four small states around Qiguo, which are Korea, Shang, Ye, and Su. Although these are only four small countries, neither the Qi Dynasty nor the dynasties before the Qi Dynasty have annexed these four small countries, because from the map, the Qi Dynasty is like a small island surrounded by the sea on three sides, standing arrogantly in the center of the four small countries, and these four countries have become an alliance, if one country is attacked, the other three countries can enter the Qi Kingdom by water or land, and what is even more outrageous is that most of the soldiers of these four countries are good at water warfare. Therefore, the foundation of Qiguo has only been more than 30 years, and it does not dare to annex it rashly, so the five countries on the land of China are headed by Qiguo.
He slowly woke up, surrounded by a charming fragrance.
"Are you awake?" A girl leaned over and gently wiped the corners of Fang Hao's forehead.
"Where am I?" Fang Hao wanted to prop up his body, but found that he had lost half of his strength.
The girl leaned over to wash the towels: "You are in Ye Country." ”
"What?" Fang Hao seemed to be startled, but there was a sharp pain in his head.
"You're from Qiguo, aren't you?" The girl asked.
"Yes." Only then did Fang Hao think that behind Yeshan was the path leading to Ye Guo, and he estimated that he had been washed to the border of Ye Guo.
But how can it be in the girl's boudoir, if someone comes to commit it, at least she will be put in prison.
"Girl, you saved me?" Fang Haocai realized that the girl in front of him should be the benefactor who saved him.
"I went to Yeshan to look for the legendary ice snake, but I didn't expect it to rain, so I went down the mountain, and from a distance, I saw you rushing down from the mountain, so I rescued you, why were you chased and killed?" The girl asked.
"They are my enemies, and they want to kill me, thank you girl for saving my life." Fang Hao said weakly.
"Are you a bad person?" The girl turned her head, and Fang Hao tried to see the girl's face clearly in the sun, she looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with a face like a hibiscus out of water, and a sweet smile on her face.
Fang Hao shook his head: "I'm not a bad person. ”
"Yes." The girl answered sweetly. Fang Hao asked, "Do you believe what I said?" ”
The girl nodded: "Why don't you believe it?" You don't look like a bad person. ”
Fang Hao was amused by the girl: "Where can the word bad guy be written on the face of a bad guy?" ”
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "Anyway, you have the words I am not a bad person written on your face." ”
Fang Hao smiled knowingly: "Girl, how long have I been in a coma?" ”
"Well, it's been about five days. Hungry, right? The girl asked with a smile.
Fang Hao nodded: "It's been five days, and I don't know Lan Xiaoqiu's whereabouts." Fang Hao raised his head and said, "Girl, I want to go back to Qiguo to find someone, can you send me back?" ”
The girl smiled again: "Even if I send you back, you also have to have the strength to find someone, I'll help you get some food." ”
The girl seemed to go out and gave a few orders and then turned back, Fang Hao said: "Girl, you always smile when you talk to people, dare to ask the girl's name, and when I return to China and find my sweetheart, I will come to Ye Country with her to thank the girl." ”
The girl laughed, "Just call me smile, I always love to laugh, and they say the same about me, that I laugh like the sun." So what's this big brother called? ”
Fang Hao nodded: "Your smile seems to be able to really drive away people's troubles." Below Hao. ”
"Brother Fang Hao, are you very troubled? Is it because your sweetheart is gone? The girl's watery eyes were full of questions.
Fang Hao nodded: "I've been looking for her for a few days, and I don't know if she's dead or alive now." ”
"Hope she's okay." It didn't take long for a table of food to be set, but Fang Hao didn't even have the strength to hold chopsticks.
The girl was worried: "How can you still have the life to go to her in such a state like you?" I also have some friends in the Qi Dynasty, and they are also considered to be powerful, so it is better for you to draw the portrait of your sweetheart to me, and I will ask them to help you find it. I'm afraid that as soon as you set foot in the land of Qiguo, you will suffer another catastrophe, so won't that make your sweetheart even more worried? ”
"Girl's friend?" Fang Hao seemed a little uneasy.
The smiling girl smiled: "Have you ever heard of the mountain mouse?" ”
Fang Hao was surprised: "Sou mountain rat? Is that the thief who can drill into the tunnel and go to the beams of the house? ”
The smiling girl smiled: "He does jump up and down, so there is no one he can't find." ”
"The girl is really well connected. If a thief helps me find it, oh yes, my sweetheart has disappeared from the palace. I'll paint you a picture of her. Fang Hao painted the portrait of Lan Xiaoqiu, because Lan Xiaoqiu's mask has reached the deadline, so now Lan Xiaoqiu should be a real face.
Fang Hao handed the portrait to the Xiaoxiao girl: "Please also ask the Xiaoxiao girl to help me find her whereabouts." ”
The smiling girl was suddenly surprised: "Is it her?" ”
